After years of being confined behind bars, celebrated Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel is finally a free man! On a momentous Wednesday, the Jamaica Court of Appeal made a unanimous decision to overturn his murder conviction linked to the 2011 case of Clive "Lizard" Williams. The court deemed that re-examining the case was unwarranted, providing a wave of relief not just for Kartel but also for his dedicated legion of fans around the world who supported him throughout this tumultuous journey.
In 'Gaza City,' Waterford, jubilation reigned supreme as residents took to the streets to celebrate the long-awaited freedom of their icon.
